It’s almost always an attempted gotcha when someone says “some people can’t mask”

The thing is - that’s exactly why everyone who CAN mask, should mask.

It’s not a gotcha - it reinforces our point

We need to stop relying on the compassion of individuals but instead build compassionate systems.

Vaccines are one of the most important inventions humans have ever made. Period.

People should be alive and know their history and their choices.

For all of the Long COVID sufferers with CFS and mitochondrial/ATP dysfunction: I wish there was a way to make COVID-19 denialists and anti-maskers go through the daily experience of waking up feeling the same as exhaustion as when you went to bed nine hours previously.

Telehealth is the only way I can see doctors safely these days.

Please call/contact your members of Congress and ask them to protect telehealth.

Democrats, take notes.
